Ferrari Mondial . Net

I don’t know about you but very occasionally I see a car that just makes me drool and jibber like a crazy fool. The Buntingford classic car rally September 2007 in Hertfordshire was one of those rare moments. Behold Geoff Lock’s (or is it Jeff Lock?) gorgeous, racing specification Ferrari 308 (1979/1980). What more can I say, except that the curvy Ferrari 308 has to be one of the the sexiest car ever designed, if not *the* sexiest ever! Well done to Geoff for keeping it looking good, and still racing it at his very respectable age!

Given that most Ferrari’s leak a little bit of oil (depending on usage and condition of the seals) keeping the oil level topped up is important, and changing it every year, or approximately 3000 miles, is also a good thing to do. However a lot of Mondials and 308s are 20+ year old cars now and the manual recommends Agip 10W-50, which a) is not really available any more and b) oil technology has changed a lot over the years, now fully synthetic oils are more commonplace. After doing some research, and canvassing opinion I think the one to go for is… Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40, though if anyone has a differing opinion please let me know.
